Is It The Net Or The Setting?

For what it's worth, I would go for the latter.

100% all in the setting. You could have the best gear in the world, but if you cant run it out undetected and to a suitable standard, it be useless. But there does seem to be nets that catch better than others. CW has a small trad he thinks is the bee`s knees and has accounted for more than its fair share.

I think a decent netter will catch with any net,but will do a better job with a better quality web if that makes sense. Same goes for pursenets

[lllluke1 328]

Got to be the setting. All the gear and no idea you won't catch much. You might still get lucky and get the odd one

Long netting is an art so I go with the setting not the net.

[fitchet 788]

Surely the net ?? I'm not very good with long nets at all mostly use them for ferreting but a shit net with hardly any bag will have rabbits bouncing out of it here there and everywhere. With a good net even a novice can get lucky with a shit net it makes you feel like giving up before you've even begun.

Setting I would say the net needs to be in the right place at the right time in the right conditions. I think if you get that right even a poor net will catch (not well but it will ) compared to a nice quality hand made net made by any of the skilled makers on here if you set it in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong conditions you wont catch or are unlikely.

 

Saying that if you don't try you won't find out what are the right conditions. Like any thing put the hours in and it will come

I still wear L plates mind this will be my second season coming up

Just to be awkward....a combination of both for me ..ie..a good net and the ability to use it.

[foxtails 272]

the setting of the net is important, a novice wont catch not even nearly as much as an experinced netter

[terryd 8,024]

You could may be draw comparison with fishing. A novice angler with his £300 zipplex bass rod won't catch as many bass as an experienced angler and his odessa bass rod off ebay for twenty quid

[Hot Meat 3,109]

Yeah but give the experienced dude the better rod and the novice the brush pole an then you will see a vast diffrence, same with nets, imho

Yes of course your right but your choosing the net and setting

[perthshire keeper 1,237]

the setting for me but a good net dose help a lot! but like others have said if its not set right it wont catch!

[Hot Meat 3,109]

I agree the setting is a big part, but if the net was of no or little importance surely we would all have that sheet netting, cant deny it will still catch, I know that through time an experience I have got nets I grab first when going out, both out the pursenet bag or longnet, some nets just make the job easier/more enjoyable. Just like fising tackle and most other things in life you get what you pay for or put effort into

A good point made, but what if a little extra thought could make that net with hardly any bag, a decent catching net.
